Polyamory

I was just wondering if anyone else has to deal with the small town rumor mill when trying to date a paramour. Honestly, I have met people over 100 miles away that know some of my family.

Of course, I am not out to my family, for various reasons, so I kinda dread the phone call saying, “So & so told so & so that they saw you out and about with some woman, and it didn’t look like your wife.”
